What is the cost of filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court will require the debtor to pay a filing fee upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition. A Chapter 7 filing fee is $299. A Chapter 13 filing fee is $274. If a debtor uses an attorney to assist him or her in filing bankruptcy, the attorney fees vary from law firm to law firm. At our office, the attorney fees vary depending on the complexity of the case.
